Submitting Single Sightings

If you are unable to commit that much time, you can send us sightings of a single breeding bird that you see. It's easy. All you need is the species name, the location of the bird, and a breeding bird code. Have you seen:

• A Carolina Wren feeding young on your front porch (code FY)?
• A Northern Cardinal building a nest (code NB) in a bush in the front yard?
• Ruby-throated Hummingbirds using your feeders all summer (code X)?
• American Robins carrying nest material (code CN)?

There are a few species we should be able to find in nearly every atlas block. Check our maps to see if you can help fill in some of our empty blocks.

Before you fill out our online single sighting form, please review the breeding codes. Be sure to describe your location as precisely as you can.

Other ways to help

If you'd like to participate at a level between the primary atlaser in a block, and a single species reporter, you may want to learn about our Oriole Project. No matter how you choose to participate, we appreciate your support and look forward to working with you.

Thank you!
